The event which is a brain child of Aka Ikenga, the intellectual arm of Ohaneze, Daily Sun gathered, will serve as a forum for Ndigbo to mull over their plight in Nigeria and draw a new road map for renaissance. President of Aka Ikenga, Chief Chris Asoluka explained that the retreat, which will take place in Grand Hotel Asaba, offers an opportunity to Igbo sons and daughters to take a cold, dispassionate look at the peculiar challenges facing the Igbo nation in the 21st Century. According to him, the retreat is an opportunity for the Igbos to "think through the peculiar intra-ethnic dynamics propelling the Ndigbo of Nigeria today and then discuss, dispassionately, how it fits into the Igbo road map and the challenge of remaining a relevant constituency of the federating units of the 21st Century Nigeria". Asoluka was however emphatic about the nature of the retreat, describing it as non-partisan but not apolitical. "This would be a non-partisan event to be characterised by mental output, focused presentations and select breakout sessions. It is not a political summit’, he warned, maintaining that issues would be handled with dispatch at the retreat. The Igbo leader further explained that measures have been taken to ensure that the event, which is collaborative effort between Aka Ikenga and Ohaneze does not turn into a forum for bellyaching and high-sounding. "Great effort will be expended to ensure that this retreat brings a fresh breath of perspective, including intellectual rigour and pragmatism on the issues," he explained. Asoluka who is also a chieftain of Ohaneze revealed that the renowned US based robotics engineer, Prof. Barth Nnaji shall deliver the keynote speech at the retreat under the theme: Njikoka: A Search for Fresh Standards.       HOME | ABOUT THE SUN | SPORTS | POLITICS | NEWS | COLUMNISTS | CONTACT US I ADVERT RATE © 2004 THE SUN PUBLISHING LTD.
